I need support with this Writing question so I can learn better.

Our first essay is rather simple. It asks the question “What impact has reading had on your life?” Please reflect on this question for a few minutes and then post a short essay in the MLA format. If you have any questions, please let me know by email. Here is the full-page description of the assignment:

Essay #1: Literacy Narrative

Write a short literacy narrative about yourself. Literacy narratives can often have slightly different focuses, so you have a small amount of room for creativity, but they primarily deal with detailing a person’s path to reading and writing (education and experiences as a reader) and/or the impact that reading and writing has on their lives. Keep in mind that the focus here is on “literacy” (the act of reading and/or writing) and not as much on “literature” (which we’ll be talking about in class). Your literacy narrative can involve your experiences with various “great” books, but it will more likely encompass your experiences with a variety of texts, from internet reading, to newspapers, to comic books, to whatever you tend to read or even write in your spare time.

The organization of your paper will depend on the focus you want the essay to take. If you are writing about your experience becoming literate (learning to read and write), you will probably take a narrative approach, detailing your first experiences in school or your first memories of books or the first time reading or writing seemed to make a big impact on your life. In writing from this perspective, you will want a clear introduction that establishes the story you plan on telling, strong transitions and paragraphs (probably chronologically organized) that put that overall story together, and a conclusion that goes beyond simple summary to address the large context of what you’ve just written about. What ultimate impact did those early experiences have on the reader/writer you are today?

If you focus more on particular texts or experiences of reading and writing and how they have impacted your life, you would structure your essay in a more subject-by-subject fashion. Your introduction would establish that you are writing about significant moments where literacy or particular texts impacted your life and give a sense of why those moments or texts are important. Your body paragraphs would be organized around each of those texts or moments, explaining what they were and narrating why they mattered. In this structure, your conclusion would again go beyond simple summary to put the discussion in a larger context. Have those particular moments or texts changed the way you read or address writing now? How might those experiences be similar to or different from those of other individuals?

Regardless of how you organize the paper, the final draft of your paper needs to be typed, double spaced, and in 12 point font with one inch margins. Your name, the instructor’s name, the course number, and date need to be in the upper left hand corner of the first page (only). Your last name and the page number should appear in the upper right hand corner of each page–or simply the page number–either will work, in other words the full MLA format. You will submit this as a word doc, PDF, or Richtext file only. If I can not open what you send, I will let you know and give you plenty of time to resubmit.

Help me study for my Art & Design class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

Now that you’ve read about the Artist Profile Project, start thinking about research! The session moves fast and it’s a good idea to start early!

There are two things you need to do to complete this exercise:

#1 – Choose an artist to research.

#2 – Start collecting resources.

Look at the Approved Artist List and select an artist (you cannot use this one). You might want to explore a bit to find someone you’re really interested in learning more about. Once you decide, then you can surf the internet and locate at least three resources about your chosen artist. Later you’ll find more research sources but start with just three right now.

Need an example?

I selected Jackson Pollock as my artist. Listed below are three potential internet resources I found about this artist that I’ll explore for information to write my project.

Source #1. https://www.jackson-pollock.org/
Source #2. https://www.jackson-pollock.org/biography.jsp
Source #3. https://www.moma.org/artists/4675

Submit your work by identifying your artist (10 points) and including the three resources (5 points each)

I need help with a Psychology question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.

Submit a 3- to 4-page paper, supported by at least 4 scholarly resources (not including DSM-5), in which you address the following:

• Describe Saks’s or McGough’s experiences with schizophrenia. Identify onset, associated features (specifically referencing the positive and negative symptoms), development, and course.
• Explain how you would use the Clinician Rated Dimensions of Psychosis Symptom Severity measure and the WHODAS to help confirm your diagnosis.
• Explain how you would plan treatment and individualize it for Saks or McGough. Support your response with references to scholarly resources. In your explanation, consider the following questions:
  • What are the long-term challenges for someone living with the illness?
  • What social, family, vocational, and medical supports are needed for long-term stabilization?
• Briefly explain how race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, religion, or other identity characteristics may influence an individual’s experience with schizophrenia.

Experiences of schizophrenia are not homogeneous; there is wide variety in onset, course of illness, and combinations of symptoms. Social workers need to be able to understand the different manifestations and pathways of the illness to plan interventions. Social work services play a key role in stabilizing crises, supporting family coping, and influencing overall quality of life and outcomes of individuals with schizophrenia. In this Assignment, you practice applying this necessary individualization.

To prepare: In the Learning Resources, focus on the associated features, development, and course of the illnesses in the schizophrenia spectrum. Also focus on descriptions of the disorder and the way it develops for different individuals.

Choose two articles from the list in the Learning Resources that apply to treatment support and interventions for the schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders chapter in the DSM 5. Choose either Saks or McGough to focus on for this assignment.

The ted talk for McGough is this:

A Critical Analysis of Presidential Campaign Advertisements

Introduction. The 2012 presidential campaign broke all records for campaign advertisements during an election campaign. The total amount spent on television advertising on the two major party candidates reached $900 million with over 1 million ads being aired. (Washington Post’s Analysis on Campaign Ad Spending) The vast majority of this money is being spent on ads that are commonly no more than 30 seconds long, and yet they are often credited with tremendous influence in determining the winning candidate. In the half-century since presidential candidates first started using television advertisements, these “spots” have become a vital part of any political campaign.

Background. Campaign ads are products of the time periods in which they were made. It can be said that they are historical artifacts – whether they address timely issues or more general themes, they can help teach us what mattered to voters in a given campaign. And when we look at a sampling of campaign advertisements from the past 60 years of presidential campaigns, we can come to an understanding of the extent to which presidential elections, the media and the issues that matter to voters has changed.

Your task: Today we are going to take a close look at campaign advertisements from several elections over the course of the second half of the twentieth century. Choose an election year to learn about

• Use the website from the Museum of the Moving Image called The Living Room Candidate (www.livingroomcandidate.org)
• Read the summary of the election in the box on the right side of the screen – this will provide you with the historical context necessary to understand the advertisements.
• Browse through the campaign advertisements from the major party candidates in your Chosen election year.
• Choose ONE advertisement to present to the class as being the most effective AND explain why you considered it to be effective. Use the worksheet below to help form your reasoning.
• Be ready to present your findings to the class.

Talk with an ELL instructor from a Title I school about how assessment is used for placement. Inquire also about how placement and accommodations are determined for both special education and gifted ELLs. Your questions might include (but should not be limited to) the following:

1. What are the indicators of exceptionality a classroom teacher should look for when a student also has a language barrier?
2. How can informal as well as formal assessment results factor into placement?
3. What role do parents and teachers have in placement?
4. What are some primary factors that are exhibited in underachievement that may not necessarily signal special education needs?
5. What are some examples of classroom assessment techniques utilized for ELLs with special needs and gifted ELLs?
6. How are changes among individual ELL proficiency levels over the course of the school year accounted for?
7. How are diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments integrated for ELLs in mainstream classrooms?
8. What are the benefits of the SIOP protocol for native English speakers as well as those for whom English is an additional language?
